MCS Certification at AEG Construction
The UK’s highest standard for renewable energy — backed by government, trusted by industry.
When you invest in renewable energy, you deserve the assurance that it has been designed, installed, and certified to the highest possible benchmark. That’s why every renewable system we deliver at AEG Construction is installed under MCS — the Microgeneration Certification Scheme — the UK’s definitive quality mark for clean energy.
The Microgeneration Certification Scheme
The Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) is the UK government-endorsed quality assurance standard for renewable energy installations — covering solar PV, battery storage, air source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps, and solar thermal systems.
It isn’t a label. It’s a rigorous, audited framework that holds installers accountable for every aspect of the work — from the products specified, to the engineers on site, to the performance of the system once it’s running.
MCS guarantees that your installation meets strict requirements for performance, safety, and efficiency, and it’s the only way to access the UK’s government-backed renewable energy incentives.
For homeowners and businesses alike, MCS certification is your proof that the system in your property is reliable, compliant, and built to deliver long-term savings.
Reliable, compliant, and built to deliver long-term savings.
Installing renewable energy is a serious investment
Without proper certification, you risk underperforming systems, invalid warranties, and being shut out of every government incentive scheme on the market.
Property-Specific Design
Designed around your property’s specific energy profile — not a one-size-fits-all install.
Accredited Engineers
Installed by qualified, accredited engineers operating to audited standards.
Performance Benchmarks
Tested against strict performance benchmarks before sign-off.
UK Compliance
Compliant with current UK building regulations and safety legislation.
- Most critically, MCS certification is the gateway to the financial schemes that make renewable energy genuinely cost-effective.
- No MCS, no incentive payments. It really is that simple.
MCS certification supports homeowners, landlords, businesses and eco-conscious households

Helpful answers before you start
Is MCS certification mandatory?
If you want to access the Smart Export Guarantee, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, or any other government-backed renewable incentive — yes, MCS is required.
How long does certification take?
Your MCS certificate is issued after installation is complete and your system has been successfully tested and commissioned.
Does MCS guarantee savings?
MCS guarantees your system has been designed and installed to achieve optimal performance. Actual savings depend on your usage — but a certified install always outperforms an uncertified one.
Can I get MCS for an existing system?
In most cases, no. MCS certification is only available where the system has been installed by an MCS-approved installer like AEG Construction from the outset. If you’re unsure about an existing setup, get in touch and we’ll advise you on your options.
